Can you carry over Hitman 1 to 3?

The answer to the question of whether you can carry over progress from Hitman 1 to Hitman 3 is complex, as Hitman 1 progress does not directly transfer to Hitman 3, but players can import levels from Hitman 1 and Hitman 2 into Hitman 3 through the Access Pass system, allowing for a unified experience across the World of Assassination trilogy. This means players can enjoy all stages from Hitman 1, Hitman 2, and Hitman 3 in a single game, even across different console generations, by utilizing this import feature.
